Armenian-American vocalist, songwriter, composer/producer and multimedia artist KÁRYYN announces the first single ‘the REAL’, taken from her just announced Calm KAOSS! EP, due for release via Mute on 22 May 2024.

Born in the prolific period following her European tour, Calm KAOSS! was created in partnership with British record producer James Ford (Blur, Haim, Gorillaz, Depeche Mode, Florence & The Machine). The project sees KÁRYYN commune with her past, present and future selves, traveling through time to reveal transformative premonitions from the future in scientific and spiritual language.

On the EP’s lead single ‘the REAL’, KÁRYYN steadies herself in humility and a newfound power. One of the first productions from her collaboration with James Ford, the song strips away at posturing and ego, reminding us that we are all one consciousness. The song is steeped in the Sumerian poem The Descent of Inanna — a tale of a goddess who enters the realm of death in search of wisdom — and themes from the Vedic text The Upanishads, which declares: “[o]neself is a world for all beings.”

“I’ve always been an I to We person,” she notes. “What excites me is collaboration.” The track shines with both producers’ transcendent chemistry, building a limitless recording space where KÁRYYN’s vision can come to life. “There is no other,” she reminds us. “We are all reflecting one another.”

Park(tape version)-D33J

This track tells the tale of Antero Teknomättö’s never-ending mixing swamp.

The main melody is surprisingly catchy—played on a wobbling analog synth straight out of the ’80s, layered with a VC340 choir and a wide synth bass - not forgetting the piano.

Genre-wise, it’s a wild cocktail of techno, pop, and schlager.
